I did a fresh installation of Ubuntu 17.10. Now I'm trying to install Java 9 on Ubuntu. I followed this askubuntu answer and when I run sudo apt-get install oracle-java9-installer this is what I'm getting

download failed
Oracle JDK 9 is NOT installed.
dpkg: error processing package oracle-java9-installer (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Why the download fails and Oracle JDK 9 is not installing. How can I fix this ?

    Same issue that I'm having here: https://askubuntu.com/q/996774/783699 Basically the PPA isn't maintained by Oracle themselves, but rather a third party. Today Oracle released 9.0.4 and it broke apt for JDK. There will be workarounds soon and eventually they'll update the PPA. – PicoDeGallo Jan 17 '18 at 01:25

I tried to download Oracle Java 9 manually from the official Oracle website at: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk9-downloads-3848520.html and the link to download jdk-9.0.4_linux-x64_bin.tar.gz is working. Your other alternative is to install openjdk-9-jdk from the default Ubuntu 17.10 repositories.

Install Oracle Java JDK the manual way

If you have problems getting Java 9 to work properly with React JavaScript library, don't give up because you can have multiple versions of Java installed alongside each other and set the Java version from the terminal by following the instructions in How to set default Java version?.
